SaaS around Stripe API

October 8, 2025

Tl;DR

You can get me wrong: automate your payments and dont accept any other form that does not require your attention.

From the quote / post / learnings: sell to the rich, they pay better.

Intro

Congratz, you are registered into the app!

Now subscribe to get additional goodies :)

This is not exactly a stripe 101, as I have played with it before:

Why Stripe

Bc you can configure your products, prices, payments etc via their UI.

Plus you get a cool API.

Also, stripe provides a dashboard to manage subscriptions.

I tried stripe subscriptions linkshere, for the mental health delivery.

People are using them to sell ebooks https://readmake.com/ or ways to code: https://codefa.st/#pricing, https://shipfa.st/?ref=indiepage

Or to sell simple microSaaS services like: https://poopup.co/

Just learn how to do quick & cool landing pages, like: https://codefa.st/#pricing or https://indiepa.ge/

With a Pricing section having by default the yearly plans discounted (and in a tab the monthly ones)

Example https://fireflies.ai/pricing?billing=monthly for audio

Modern signups look like: https://www.mailerlite.com/signup or https://app.fireflies.ai/login

RLS - row level security is very important!

Make sure that one user can only edit records related to that particular user.

Also pwd should be hashed on the DBs, just in case the DB gets compromised.
